Understand the basics of Sokoban
Make Sokoban your next activity in the game library. Push every crate onto a target. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.
Push two crates onto their targets in compact 7×7 rooms. The starting layouts can be solved; an unhelpful push may still trap a crate.
A focus for your next round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Push every crate onto a target. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- Move through empty floor.
- Push one crate into empty space.
- Never pull or push two at once.
- Undo a deadlock and continue.
Input guidance
Arrow keys or direction buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
A crate in a non-target corner cannot be recovered by pulling. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Consider the player’s access behind crates. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
